1. What was the hardest part about being on survivor the dehydration or the hunger?Dehydration, the body can sustain as long as the fluids are replenished, considering the body is made of mostly water, and I have lived without food for two weeks before while in survival school. It is unbearable when I need to find water and can not. I built a filter system out of coal, sand, rocks and bamboo to sustain till we won the flint.

2.If you could of been on any other season of survivor s1-19 what one would you be on and why.? I liked the cook island season as it was based on military tactics,also wish I was on Guatemala as they needed some pick me ups to make it an enjoyable season.

3. Where the tribal councils long as jeff say they are? you just talk for hours?Not for the survivors, we were only there about two hours maybe two and a half. The vote count was what I didn't like, it seemed forever when they were deciding the order to announce the votes, and we couldn't talk while they were tallying the votes.

4. Did you make any life long friends from the show? Oh yes that is a gimme, I am great friends with Chris, Twila, Julie, Chad, Bubba, and Eliza. Once in a while I see Leann too.

5.IF you could play survivor again would you be the nice guy or you would be a villian and stir things up? I would slam them to the wall. I played the game as I did because one reason, the Army told me before I left to play the game, what ever you do, you better not embarrass the Army or there will be consequences to pay and they will be detrimental.

1. Whats your fave season out all all the 19 that have been aired so far?Thanks Em for this question! Hmmm out of 19 seasons so far definitely Tocantins hands down! Great cast, all the episodes were fun to watch and blog! From a cinematic level even, the shooting of it was even brilliant at times! The meditation scenes and scenes of Exile Island all were great. Plus the challenges were all fun! The strategies were also cool to watch evolve. A stellar season!2. Are you happy and excited that survivor has been renewed 2 more seasons?

Absolutely! I would miss the show a lot. I am definitely addicted to the show. Plus I have read rumors of Orient locations and am curious where they will shoot next.3. If You could be in any season which season would you choose and why?

Even though I love Tocantins, I think it was brilliantly cast and would hate to upset that balance. Instead I think I would prefer a different season. Perhaps my second fave, Season 2: Survivor The Australian Outback. I would have loved to have been still on the ground floor of what would become a breaking cult phenomenon. Plus to play alongside people like Michael Skupin, Colby Donaldson and Tina Wesson, all faves would have been incredible! BUT, I probably would have attempted an alliance with Jerri lol. I love Jerri-she was a female villain extraordinaire!

4. What Castaway would you play like if you got given the chance to be on survivor?

I have been asked this question before. Ironically on an online game when I was in the Finals. I thought about it and the one person who came to mind was Chris Daughtery from Vanuatu.

Chris was perceived early as an underdog but did not give up. He even was put in the position of being the sole male in an all girls tribe and still survived.

He kept his head in the game 24/7, played a pretty serious social game where everyone trusted his word.He kept plucking away and in the end owned his season.

I am similar. I played similar tho not in exactly the same situation. I might start out slow but once I get started I will give it 120% and will play whatever cards I am dealt to win.

Interesting enough though I took one of those quizzes on Facebook on which Survivor are you most like and guess who I got- Chris Daughtery! I said "well I'll be damned!" lol

5.You're in the final 3 , you have won final immunity. You have to choose between 2 people. someone you have had an alliance with all the way but they have done nothing wrong and most likely to beat you , or someone who has done nothing but give everyone trouble whole 39 days

Believe it or not this happened on Survivor Myspace 8http//www.myspace.com/survivormyspace8 the online game I won. My F3 allies had been with me the entire game. Anyway I won the Final Challenge and then had to make the choice of who to take.

Denny was the quiet, smart, low key player and Michael was the boisterous in your face Boston Rob type player.

Michael had made a ton of enemies as had I. In fact my target was there the entire game as had his. People wanted us GONE.

Instead we had what was the best alliance during our season in the Pyramid (that is what we called ourselves as our location was the Sinai Desert and Pyramids are sturdy and have longeivity) that plus we played our hearts out -each of us. We were all 5 pretty tight all through the game and looked out for each other. Which is why 3 of the 5 made the Final 3.

At the final challenge we were participating in, I noticed Denny had people congratulating him for posting on the Final Immunity Challenge blog. Whereas Michael and I were being somewhat ignored.

I thought back to stuff people had said to me in the game and realized that I had a jury who would vote based on their feelings being hurt. If so my chances did not look good.

In making my mind up I began to consider the possibility Denny stood a good shot at beating me.

So though it was a pretty tough choice writing Denny's name down, I decided to go for the win and took Michael and forced the jury to look at two solid strategical players. To vote on the game played and not because they wanted revenge.

I ended up winning 5-2.

Since how you play an online game mirrors at times how you would play in real life, I feel I would make a similar choice. Plus it's for a million bucks and the all important bragging rights of Sole Survivor. Definitely something I would work very hard for.

Thanks Em this is an honor to have you consider me and good luck with your blog!!!

Im so happy to see russell back! Loved his game in S19. Alot of people love to hate him, Yes he was a villian and yes did played dirty but thats the name of the game.

Hantz has an advantage in this season already, none of his fellow contestants have a clue who he is or how he plays. I can say there in for a rude shock! I hope he keeps up his ruthlessness and villian act because i wouldnt want to see him play anyway!

after a long battle with cancer. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jenn's family and friends

We all know Jenn from survivor palau she was a sweetheart that played hard , Jenn survive for 37 of 39 days, finishing in fourth place. Although she didn't win the big prize, she did secure a lifetime of friendships. There is no bad words to say about jenn she was beautiful inside and out.

SURVIVOR IS BACK! WOW season 20! who would have thought a show that sticks people on and island somewhere in the pacific ocean would last 20 seasons and 10 years!
